    Intelligent, imaginative and kind Sara Crewe is the the only daughter of a man who thinks the best thing for her is a London education. Captain Crewe is a loving father, but mistakenly sends her to Miss Michin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, where all is not quite what it seems. 
    At first, Sara embraces the status of  'princess' afforded her, and lives up to it with compassion and generosity. But soon tragedy strikes and she finds herself thrown into the life of a lowly scullery maid, with no hope of escape.  
    With unerring wit and determination she does her best to muddle through. But eventually it all becomes too much for her, and she falls into deep sorrow. 
    If only by some miracle, there was an end to her suffering... 
    With the vocal mastery of award winning Stephanie Poppins, who 'inhabits ever character as though they are her very own', this is a must have for those seeking quality without exception.

    Malcolm X - By Any Means Necessary

    As a 14-year-old he was Malcolm Little, the president of his class and a top student. At 16 he was hustling tips at a Boston nightclub. In Harlem he was known as Detroit Red, a slick street operator. At 19 he was back in Boston, leading a gang of burglars. At 20 he was in prison. 
      
    It was in prison that Malcolm Little started the journey that would lead him to adopt the name Malcolm X, and there he developed his beliefs about what being Black means in America: beliefs that shook America then, and still shake America today. 
      
    Few men in American history are as controversial or compelling as Malcolm X. In this Coretta Scott King Honor Book, Walter Dean Myers, winner of a Newbery Honor and four-time Coretta Scott King Award winner, portrays Malcolm X as prophet, dealer, convict, troublemaker, revolutionary, and voice of Black militancy.
